💡 Nova’s Tip
In Korea, when you meet someone new at work, it’s common to state your job right after your name — this helps establish how formally you should speak to each other.
🇵🇭 Sa Korea, kapag nakilala mo ang isang bagong tao sa trabaho, karaniwan nang sabihin ang iyong trabaho kaagad pagkatapos ng pangalan — nakakatulong ito para malaman kung gaano kaformal ang dapat gamiting pananalita.
